Definition of Shiites...
#Shiites: They are a sect that pretended to love Ahl al-Bayt, and they harbored Magian, Jewish, and pagan beliefs. They disbelieved the Companions, especially Sheikhs Al-Siddiq and Omar {may God be pleased with them}, and claimed that the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, assigned the Imamate after him to Ali, but the Companions usurped his right from him; Whoever does not believe in that is, according to them, an “infidel,” in addition to other false beliefs that they believe and falsely and slanderously attribute to the Prophet’s family.

Honestly, Ayatollah Khamenei, as a politician, I was very much against him, but as a cleric, I didn't doubt him at all, really.

Un piccolo battello come base per lanciare droni kamikaze: così le milizie sciite irachene prendono di mira Israele

Un interessante video di propaganda del gruppo Saraya Awliya al Dam (Sad), formazione irachena sciita alleata dell’Iran. Mostra il lancio di un drone-suicida tipo Shahed (sempre iraniano) che sarebbe stato lanciato verso il porto israeliano di Eilat. Tre punti: i miliziani hanno usato un piccolo drone per filmare l’intera operazione; è stato impiegato un piccolo battello come piattaforma-base, dimostrazione della semplicità dell’arma; esperti che hanno analizzato il filmato ipotizzano che i guerriglieri fossero in un lago dell’Iraq oppure all’estero (forse lo Yemen). Nelle ultime settimane le fazioni sostenute da Teheran hanno continuato a bersagliare lo Stato ebraico da più direzioni.

"Investing in proxy forces — fellow #Shiites in #Lebanon, #Iraq and #Yemen, and the #Sunni Hamas in the Gaza Strip — allows Iran to cause trouble for its enemies, and to raise the prospect of causing more if attacked." #Afghanistan #Pakistan #Azerbaijan

Why Iran Is the Common Link in Conflicts From Gaza to Pakistan

Iran’s long history of building up proxy forces that fight its enemies around the region, as well as its conflicts with separatist and terrorist groups, have played into a spate of recent conflicts.

Amid all the talk of the #muslim world being united by #Israel's overreaction in the #Gaza strip, the #IS claiming the murderous suicide attacks on the memorial service for #QassemSuleimani in #Kerman draws attention to another rift that could kick off serious conflict (and has been doing so for decades already): the deep schism between #Sunnis and #Shiites. The Kerman attacks could easily pitch #Iran against #Afghanistan, which would result in a massive mess for sure. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/jan/03/whoever-is-behind-kerman-bombing-risks-igniting-regional-war

Whoever is behind Kerman bombing risks igniting regional war

US points towards Islamic State or Sunni extremists but Iran has accused Israel
